"That's not physically possible!" was the only insight that could be mustered by BBC Sport's John Kear as Penny received the ball on the end of a sweeping backline move to touch down in the far right corner during the second half.

The 27-year-old winger is currently in his second stint with Warrington, after leaving the club in his younger years when he struggled to break through to the first team. But with blinding pace, a 197cm frame and the ability to score tries like this one, it may be hard to keep him out of the side in the future.
The Challenge Cup, which runs alongside the English Super League and lower-tier competitions, is a knockout competition open to any teams in England, from amateur level all the way to the top. Leigh are currently leaders of the Championship, England's second tier.
Warrington are now in semi-finals of the tournament and are one win away from a fourth appearance at Wembley Stadium in just seven years. Penny's team mates at Wolves include former NRL players Joel Monaghan, Ashton Sims and Roy Asotasi. Despite their great form in the cup, they sit just seventh in the ESL table, with nine wins and 10 losses, nine points behind league leaders Leeds Rhinos.
That's ridiculous form Kevin Penny!!! #rocketman— Fraser Dainton (@SkySportsFraser)
